Wild Wild Gems Slot
Not everyone is impressed by cinematic intros that immerse you in a story before spinning the reels and being greeted by flashing animations and an abundance of bonus features. Some players prefer playing old-school slots that keep things simple with a basic structure that enables many more spins per minute and that’s exactly what you get with Wild Wild Gems by Everi – along with the opportunity to win a jackpot worth 10,000 coins!
Texas-based game supplier Everi is renowned for developing brick-and-mortar classics – in fact, many of you may have played the land-based version of Wild Wild Gems at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City – and it’s now available to play for free or real money at online casinos thanks to their talented interactive division who have been tasked with creating digital versions of their games.
A Classic 3x3 Reeler
Boasting a return-to-player percentage of 95.84%, this classic comprises 3 reels with 3 rows of classic symbols and 9 adjustable paylines (you can choose to play with 1, 3 or 5 active instead, but we recommend keeping all paylines active), this free Wild Wild Gems slot machine offers five coin denominations to choose from – 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 or 5.00 – with between one and ten coins allowed to be staked on each payline.
It sticks with the tried-and-tested method of requiring matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel to land a winning combination and you’ll be crossing your fingers that a plethora of gold coins rise from the machine before vanishing in mid-air as this signals that you’ve landed a big win.
Wild Wild Gems also includes a quick stop function that enables you to bring the reels to a halt in an instant, but don’t think you can use this as a ploy to win as it doesn’t influence the result of the spin at all.
Scoop a Jackpot Worth 10,000 Coins
To view the range of symbols and associated payouts included in this free Wild Wild Gems slots game, you will have to click on the menu button and then select ‘help/pay’ for the pay table to appear. A total of seven different symbols feature with eleven different winning combinations possible that offer payouts from as little as 5 coins up to a whopping 10,000 coins!
Bar symbols sit at the foot of the pay table with 5 coins on offer for a trio of bars, while 10 coins is on offer for a line of single bars and 20 coins is the prize for a line of double bars. Lines of those lucky 7s see the value of prizes increase with any combination of them being worth 20 coins, a line of the black 7s sees you secure 40 coins, a line of double white 7s pays 60 coins and a line of treble red 7s is worth 100 coins.
Everi were clearly feeling in a very generous mood when developing Wild Wild Gems as they’ve included not one, but two, Wild symbols on the reels. Any three-symbol combination of these Wilds is worth 5,00 coins, a line of Wild sapphires is sure to brighten up your day as you collect 1,000 coins, while a line of Wild rubies on the first to eighth payline pays a whopping 5,000 coins.
As generous as those payouts are, those of you who consider yourselves high rollers will have your eyes on the top prize of 10,000 coins and that’s only paid out to those who land a line of Wild rubies on the ninth payline on max bet!
Gems Galore
As beautiful as rubies and sapphires are, they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so it’s no wonder there are so many casino slot machines that revolve around the much sought-after gemstones, especially when it comes to 3-reelers that have been developed by giants of the industry.
A firm favourite amongst our team is the Triple Diamond slots game by IGT as it keeps things simple with a solitary payline and offers a jaw-dropping top prize worth 1,199x your line bet. Simbat also have a great one-liner called Diamond Line which has been designed to make you feel like you’re in the heart of a busy casino, spinning the night away trying to land a line of diamonds for prizes worth up to 4,000 coins.
If it’s the gems that attracted you to Wild Wild Gems, but you prefer a more exciting structure with the possibility of triggering bonus features, there are plenty of those to choose from too. We highly recommend that you check out Glitter Gems by Ainsworth as it’s a 5-reeler that’s been packed with eye-catching symbols and you could get your hands on up to 300,000 coins thanks to a very generous Free Games feature. If that proves too tacky for your liking, you can’t go wrong with Gnomes’ Gems by Booongo as stunning 3D graphics make it a joy to play and it’s been loaded with a varity of exciting bonus features that deliver explosive wins – especially TNT which sees the whole gamefield explode!
Get Spinning for Those Wilds!
Wild Wild Gems might look like a run-of-the-mill 3-reeled slot to most players upon loading it, but those of you who have played it at land-based casinos will have a greater appreciation of what a true classic it is.
While we must disagree with Everi’s claim that ‘winning has never looked’ so good as there are far superior 3-reelers in terms of graphics, it’s been around for several years now and it’s the potential for big payouts, not the visuals, that should lure you into spinning these classic reels – just keep those fingers crossed for Wild sapphires and rubies to keep sparkling brightly!
